Major Bug - Incorrect (low) Damage

by trave » Fri Mar 27, 2015 4:40 pm

For the past week or so I thought I was going crazy. I have been hitting mobs for 100 (barely) Sinister Strikes at level 47. My 5 point eviscerates land for 220-230 on average. After finally seeing some other questions/concerns from melee players in general chat I decided to do some research. I am 100% certain damage is not correct for at least melee players right now. I'm not sure if the problem is with how mobs are coded/setup or with player damage (probably the former).

I have been running around trying to fight every different type of mob, and I finally found some (elementals) to which I can do normal damage. Interestingly enough, these are the thistleshrub rootshapers and dew collectors; however, against the gnarled thistleshrubs, my damage is extremely low (about half of what it should be). This makes it hard for me to identify the exact problem, but there's definitely something wrong.

Against most mobs, especially humanoids and beasts, it seems my damage is half of what it should be. Eviscerates hit for 220-240 instead of 450-470. SS hits for 100 instead of 180-220. Autoattacks are also at half.

I did not see this reported anywhere else after a forum search so I am hoping to see if others can chime in with their observations. I will probably dust off fraps and get a video of this unless someone points out that this is already a known problem or whatever.

I noticed the same thing when leveling, hitting like a wet noodle and having to bandage/eat more than I have ever done on any server or realm.

After 60 and in instances it seems fine, but it's still an issue that should be looked into for levelers.

Yep, I am having to eat/bandage/cannibalize after every fight against mobs 2-3 levels lower than me. Also, I am worried this is impacting pvp. I have noticed very low damage there as well. I am going to test that next once I finish this current level.

The question is, have you? The only time you and your guild aren't botting is when you're making moronic videos. I'm the dude who reported Aymos and I also got Daggster too in Ferelas. He knows it, he spammed me paranoid for 10 minutes afterward. I do regret not frapsing you in ferelas with your generic vanilla botter profile.

Anyway, yes, I have played probably more than you and definitely at a higher level than you. I am posting a video of what a random mob fight should look like vs. what it looks like against bugged mobs on this server.

My videos are fantastic.

Everything seems to die appropriately on my warrior.

i don't mean to be rude but if your damage is low on some mobs and high on others then, assuming the mobs are equal levels, that suggests that the difference is caused by armor. some mobs have high armor, others have low armor. some have almost none.

if the mobs are higher level than you then you're probably noticing glancing blows. check your combat log and look for glancing blows.

it's possible the glancing blow formula is incorrect in some way, but it doesn't feel off to me and i'm playing a melee class.

edit- looking quickly at wowwiki, it doesn't look like special attacks are supposed to be glancing blows.

I just want to add nearly every one of your posts is complaining about your damage being low, yet you have 0 screenshots, 0 math, 0 combat logs, 0 videos.

Keep up the great work.

If this is true I think the community deserves to see their shame. The burden of proof lies with you.
